IMAGINE LOSING ONE'S CHILD.
That s how th e staff ofMichael's Entertainment Weekly felt when, on April 11, 1994
the announcement
came down from above
that
themagazine would cease publication. We
were all heartbroken by
th e
decision, because we felt the magazine was finally starting
to
take
shape, that
it
was starting to have an impact on the gay
community
our community.
We bi d our fond farewells
to
th e previous publishers and, after licking our
wounds
for
a
minute
or
two; tur ned to
on e another and said, mimicking those

looking
th e

re
the spit-
t g im e of

You chuckle at his paranoia, feeling infinitely
superior because, at least in spirit, you are older,
wiser
than
he.
You
have learned to enjoy life to
the fullest
without
compromising. You order a
double martini extra dry-and anxiously await
an order of Fettucini Alfredo. For dessert he
has lemon jello and unsweetened iced tea.
You
still very much in a celebratory
mood,
order
the chocolate moussewith a double helping of
whipped cream and a Bailey's Irish coffee.
Gosh, I wish I
could eat like that
and still stay
in
shape, utters the
blonde twinkie sit
ting
across
from
you. Again you
tsk tsk
away his
concerns and tell
him there's noth-
ing to it, it's
all
in 0
n e
knowing
how to
do
it.
He .hen asks
you
if
you'd like to
join
him for
a
game of racquet
ball after
work,
followed bymaybe
a little get together
in
his apartment.
The second rtof Tom C r u i s e
his offer sounds
great, but
the
thought of exer-
cise-especiallysomething as demanding as rac
quetball causes
your
middle-agedmind to re
coil in horror. Even he s notworth that effurt.
Three months later, you look in the mirror.
Gone
is
that
flat tummy;
your
recently acquired
firm pees have eroded back to their former state
of sagging tits;
and
your size 32 jeans lie
in
a
Goodwill collection box. You sit at
your
desk
chomping
on
a Big Mac and fries; you realize
you've blown it
again.
Dammit
maginewaking up one morning, looking into
the mirror and
discovering that you are now
the spitting image of Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise,
Ethan Hawke,
or whomever
else currently oc
cupies the
piece
de resistance of
your
lustful
mind Pretty awesome, right?
Okay;
so
after slapping yourself in the face a
few times to make sure
that
you're not sleep
walking, you stand
back
and
admire
your
new
image, vainly examining everyone of
your
new
physical attributes-attributes you've never had
but always wanted. And now here they are. So
nowwhat?
You get dressed and head into the kitchen
and prepare yourself a breakfast fit for a king:
two eggs, bacon, toast , juice (preferably
not
orange), coffee,
and
a glazed donut. Ah,
yummy What could be better? Life has just
bestowed on
you
a truly special gift, one per
haps
you don't understand
but are certainly
willing to graciously accept.
. You arrive at your office, everybody notices
you
and mentions how great you
look. The of
ficemail
boy
who you've been ogling for six
months now, butwho hasn't paid you so much
as a cross-eyed stare, stands before .you with
begging eyes and
mouth
longingly agape. Eat
yourheart out, boy F you think
to
yourself. YOu
didn t want me when I was
my
two-hundred
twenty
five
pound thirty
five-year-old self,
I ll
be
damned
ij you regoing to have me now h isn't
confidence grand? It's kinda neat being in de
mand, the apple of every guy's eye, the object
from which
wet dreams are forged.
Okay; so you're in a goodmood. Feeling chari-
table, you decide to condescend and give the
kid the thrill of his life: you ask him to lunch.
There,
sitting in the restaurant, the
twentysomething-year-old never takes his gaze
off your
well-defined, lithe body;
your
pearly
white smile, your full crop ofhair,
and
the glow
ing radiance ofyour youthful, bronzed skinned.
I think I'll have the Caesar salad
and
a bottle
of Perrier, intones
the
boy
somewhat
cau
tiously; I don't
need
the
extra calories.

ON THE NEWS
votes cast in the primary.
You re probably
wonder-
ing
who won
the
general
election. right?
Well, thanks to a recant
news story in the New
or
TImt ,
we now know
that. n HOUSton.

sexual
who
as a man 31
neither
she nor
her oppo-

ago about a
transgendered
person in Texas forcing a
run-off electron because
years ago
was just
four
hours away from being ex
ecuted
for
murder,
lost
overwhelmingly
in her
third bid
to become the
HarrisCounty Democratic

Perez.
was

of the fatal

she was

SPRINGS
TO LI
ou've probably noticed the four-color, pop
art daisies cropping
up
on little postcards
everywhere. Well, those flowers can
mean
only
one thing: It s Spring
to
Life
time
in
Washington, a celebratory weekend
of
fun
and
fundraising for AIDS research.
This
is
not
just another
party, says
Spring
to
Life marketing director
Dan
Hazard.
The
people
involved are [staging it] for all the right reasons.
Hazard hopes the
event will, like daisies,
turn perennial, per
haps one
day
gaining
recognition
as
the
city s premiereAIDS
research benefit.
What
we re really
here to
do
is help find
a cure, he says.
Last year, STCs
efforts succeeded in
bringing in a half
million dollars for
the
Robert Map
plethorpe Laboratory for
AIDS
Research
at Har-
vard Medical School, as well as the Gay
Lesbian
Victory Fund. This year, STCs proceeds will once
again benefit
the Mapplethorpe
Laboratory,
with
hopes, notes
Hazard,
to
generate
at
least
100,000
in monies. Part of
the
reason for the reduced esti
mate is
crowd capacity. Last year s event, which
coincided
with the March on
Washington,
drew
well over
5,000
people. This year,
the main
dance
event will be limited
to
half that.

with Promise of Spring, a cocktail party and buffet
dinner at the Galleria at Lafayette Center. The func
tion
will be a little more laid-back
than
D.G s
typi
cally stuffy, black tie fundraising dinners, promises
David Franco, co-chair
of
STL.
The main event
is
the Spring
to
Life Dance,
to
be held at the
Old
Post Office Pavilion on Satur
day, May 7.
Mark
Tarbox, currently the house
DJ
at
L.A.'s Probe and recently featured at Palm Spring's
White
Party, will spin the tunes. Franco
is
keeping
mum
about
who
the
mysterious special live per
former will be, but we're secretly praying for
CeCe Peniston.
An
after-hours party (bring a
carafe
of
coffee,
it
starts at 3 a.m.)
dubbed
'1\fter
Life will be held at Club Zei and is scheduled
to
feature DJ Buc, whose light style, says Hazard, is
extremelywell-suited
to
the morning hours. .
Life's Blossom, a Sunday afternoon
r e ~
cue
and
tea dance will be held at Georgetown's
Halcyon
House,
a newly renovated historic mansion
overlooking the Potomac. According
to
Franco, the
place
is
monstrous, and the views, incredible. .
The cost of each event differs, ranging from
20 to
100,
with
most
hitting the nominal $40ish
range. Tickets can be bought individually
or
in
various packages.

With

Eat, eat,

BigGulp

a
box ofTwinkies twice a day for one week can
do the trick
nicely. The constant
question
You re gaining weight, aren t you? will do
wonders for killing your sex drive.
Ifyou start
running around
the bar
in

you
may kill ev-

are nights (or weeks... or months) when you

To
help you fight these impulses, I ve devel
oped some
techniques guaranteed
to
take the
fire out
of
your quest.
Clean
the bedroom. Being a bit
of
a pro
crastinator, I have been
known to
leave
my
apartmentwithout first takingcare
of
that three
foot stack
of
clothes surroundingmy bed, emp
tying the ashtrays or putting away the lube and
condomkit.
Because
of
this, I ve found
that
a
correlationexists between the state ofyour room
and
the potential
of
your trick.
In
other
words, the messier the room, the
hotter
the boy
who
wants
to
see it. The more
you
vacuum, dust
and
launder to
turn
your den
ofinequity into a husband trap, the less likely
it
IS to see a sUItor.
Hygiene? Who
needs hygiene? Try

for
three or
four days
without
taking a
shower
or using anyof those special gifts you received
with your purchase
at
the Lancome counter.
